"Trappe district is one of the most flourishing
communities in the county. Possibly more grain is
shipped from Trappe Landing than from any other
public landing in Talbot. In the days of harvest the
river is thick with schooners loading wheat day after
day, and when the grain is all shipped fertilizer and
slag make Trappe Landing one of the busiest water
front sections in the county..." [From Easton
Star Democrat Jan. 29, 1932]
